Thinning at New Moss Wood

Today several volunteers (and a labradoodle, who found lots of sticks) worked at New Moss Wood on behalf of the Woodland Trust. New Moss Wood is a native woodland, planted about sixteen years ago and part of the Red Rose Forest, and as the woodland develops ongoing work is needed to thin the trees and maintain some of the open spaces and paths. Those out today braved non-stop rain through the morning but were rewarded with clearing skies and spring sunshine by soon after lunch!
